12 Proposal Support from CTE Workshop: Everything (except the science) You Need for Successful Proposals FRDO & UNM April 12, 2017 Amy P. Chen, Ph.D Associate Director Center for Teaching Excellence

13 UNM Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL) CTE Center for Teaching Excellence support for faculty & others with a classroom instructional role (formerly Office of Support for Effective Teaching) CTL CAP S Center for Academic Program Support undergrad course support GRC Graduate Resource Center upper-division undergrad & grad students support

14 CTE Core Functions & Initiatives Get set/reset: teaching tools, research support, faculty life Success in the Classroom Conference Course Design Institute: backward design, active learning, formative & summative assessment, equity-minded teaching Workshops (now via remote conferencing!): metacognition, engagement/motivation, iclickers, ed policies, multiple choice tests, rubrics, discussion, scientific teaching, active learning, undergrad research in curriculum, inclusive classroom Teaching Fellows Program Graduate Teaching Academy Teaching Consultation: individual/departmental, peer observation

15 CTE Core Functions & Initiatives With Faculty Senate Teaching Enhancement Committee: Teaching Awards Teaching Allocation Grant Learning Studio Classroom allocation

16 CTE Others Grant proposals: we go after them ourselves and provide consultations to others on campus Course redesign/realignment efforts on campus High impact teaching practices Online/hybrid best practices Do you have teaching-related needs? Get in touch with us!

17 CTE Support for NSF Proposals NSF Broader Impact Categories - Advance discovery & understanding while promoting teaching, training, and learning ( teaching ) - Broaden participation of under-represented groups - Enhance infrastructure for research & education - Broaden dissemination to enhance scientific & technological understanding - Benefits to society

18 CTE Support for NSF Proposals Successful NSF CAREER Education Component: education research education intellectual merit - built upon solid education intellectual merit - demonstrate integration of research and education - outside of typical box expected in your field Excerpt from 2015, 2016 NSF CAREER Program Webinar CTE can help!

23 As an aside.. NSF COV comments: Relative weighting of IM & BI is not consistent across the section and variations in expectations of what constitute quality Bis are seen in individual reviews, panel summaries, and review analyses [SEP] The broader impact criterion appears to be used by reviewers more as a tie-breaker rather than a more substantial and equally weighted criterion [CBET] Most reviewers made an effort to report on both IM & BI. However, what constitutes BI & the relative weighting of these criteria in the review varies greatly [PHY-A] Recommended Actions: Give guidance to PDs, reviewers, and COV members Describe the variability of the responses for their directorate or division Add guidance for Pis for project reports regarding addressing BI Provide a template for review analysis Assess BI in a separate section in the review analysis may facilitate more in-depth analysis Suzi Lacono (Head, NSF OIA), 2016 Broader Impacts Summits

24 - CTE has (or can help you find) pedagogical resources that you need - CTE offers/coordinate seed grants (competitive) for BI related to undergraduate teaching (TAG, Teaching Fellows Program) - CTE can connect you with those working on, or interested in, similar things on/off campus Watch for our announcements through ALLFAC-L, or, subscribe to OSET-L in list.unm.edu; us suggestions, questions, & inquiries: cte@unm.edu; AmyPChen@unm.edu Broader Impact 2.0 is an opportunity for the scientific community to make its case to those who actually fund our research. The NSF is under increasing pressure to substantiate that its $7 billion research portfolio serves the nation s needs and longterm interest. Pressing this argument is especially important, given the funding climate that the NSF - & the entire scientific & engineering community is likely to face in the coming years.

26 Data Management Planning & Broader Impacts Jon Wheeler Karl Benedict

27 Data Management Plan From the GPG: increased public scientific literacy and public engagement with science and technology (II.C.2.d.i) The Data Management Plan will be reviewed as an integral part of the proposal, considered under Intellectual Merit or Broader Impacts or both, as appropriate for the scientific community of relevance (II.C.2.j). Public Engagement Make data available in a timely manner, in diverse media and formats. Present research in formats useful to the public, policy makers, non-scientists.

28 Broader Impact Statement Societal Benefits of Research Development of an informed and scientifically literate public Data driven policy decisions Documentation and characterization of research Educational & Outreach Activities that Benefit Society Curriculum development and resources (learning objects) Integrate research with education activities Workforce development

29 NSF EPSCoR as an Example of Planning for Maximum Broader Impacts Data Management Training for project participants Robust Documentation through submission, review and support for researchers Discovery and Access through value-added data management platform/portal (with integration with DataONE & Data.gov) Long-term discovery and access through UNM s Institutional Repository
